To all my DS friends, just wanted to drop a few lines and let you all know that I am doing well. The reason I haven't been on DS much this summer is because my husband and I have season passes to Cedar Point and we have been spending allot of time in Sandusky, we have even been blessed with the opportunity to be able to stay overnight a few times, the latest time was this past Labor Day. With the help of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior I was able to overcome my fear and anxiety and ride some of the big roller coasters this year, before I would just sit and wait while my husband would ride. We have also taken a trip to Cincinnati to visit family and to go to the Kings Island Amusement Park. In August my husband had surgery as well as injections on his leg for varicose veins, he may have to have surgery and injections on his other leg, but we are not sure at this time what they are going to do. It has been a very busy summer, but a great summer. Overall I am doing very well. I am struggling with depression a little bit more right now because I have gotten out of the habit of eating better and working out and now I am starting to gain weight, for those that may not know  between watching what I was eating and working out I had lost almost 40 pounds in a year. Weight loss doesn't come easy for me, and now the depression is getting in the way of my motivation. My depression always gets a little more intense during the winter months, because there isn't as much sunlight. I just have to take it one day at a time and remember that GOD LOVES ME and I am worth the work that I need to do to get healthy, for myself and for my family.  May God bless all of you.
